How do I work this Physics problem?

I don't want the answer but I just want advice on how to solve this problem.

An AM radio signal is broadcast at a frequency of 550 kHz and travels at 3.0*10^8 m/s. What is the wavelength?

Given
f= 550 kHz
d= 3.0*10^8

Unknown
wavelength=?

What I've Worked So Far
p=1/f

So, p=1/550.

p= .001

And so I know what the period is. And I am stuck now. I need to find wavelength. I have the frequency, direction, and period.
